Iran's Cameras, Israel's Eyes: How CCTV Became Dangerous Spies, Killing Khamenei
- •Israeli intelligence hacked Tehran's traffic cameras to track Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his associates, leading to a fatal attack.
- •Unit 8200 and Mossad spent years infiltrating Iran's camera system, gaining live video feeds directly to Israel.
- •Israel used camera footage to create 'pattern of life' profiles of officials, tracking routines and movements to plan a precise attack.
- •Cameras are hacked via digital intrusion (malware), exploiting weak passwords/old software, or 'Man-in-the-Middle' attacks.
- •AI and supercomputers analyzed vast video data for facial recognition, vehicle tracking, and identifying security patterns, while mobile networks were jammed during the attack to prevent alerts.
